Today in Western Civilization we learned quite a bit about Julius Caesar and couple more well-known people. Tiberius Gracchus recognized the advantages of courting the plebians. (even though he was ultimately unsuccessful). Military generals worried that angle-lead an army that conquers lands, then give them a share of the spoils. Soldiers’ loyalty was to their military leader, not necessarily to Rome the Republic. Nobody did that better than Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar was a highly successful general, he conquered the huge territory of Gaul. He made common folks happy and had friends in high places. Pompey was a general who conquered Syria and Palestine. Crassus was the richest man in Rome, one of the richest men in History.
